The Catholic Morning Show - Ash Wednesday - 02/18/2026

On this Ash Wednesday edition of The Catholic Morning Show, we begin the Lenten journey with powerful reflections on conversion, family faith formation, and Eucharistic life. Emily Jaminet joins us to discuss how devotion to the Sacred Heart can guide our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving throughout Lent, helping us truly “rend our hearts” and return to Christ. Then Katie Prejean McGrady shares insights from her new book First Communion and Beyond, offering practical encouragement for parents to lead their children into lifelong Eucharistic joy and deeper participation in the Mass. Start Lent strong with wisdom, encouragement, and concrete steps for growing closer to Jesus.
